“So when I dismissed her, people started think that I dismissed the main movement, but I wasn’t attempting to dismiss Black Lives Matter – I was attempting to dismiss her as it would be our personal s**t. I don’t think the niche matter of her tweet was invalid; I just think it had been emotionally charged and driven by another thing, as well as the whole thing got so misconstrued. I just wish I had acknowledged the situation head-on given it made people think I don’t value what’s going on socially and what’s happening in America, and I do care.
